SANTA BABBABA COLLEGE. 215 



" Our plans of education are disposed to include 

 all that the Past has handed down of good, all that 

 the Future may offer to us. By the study of Lan- 

 guage, Philosophy, and History, we inherit the rich 

 experiences of Humanity ; by the study of Natural 

 Science we search after the Laws of Creation, and 

 reach out for the Divine." 



Regular attendance and punctuality at all recitations 

 and exercises will be demanded. It will be impossi- 

 ble for any pupil who does not attend to his entire 

 duty and is not prompt at every exercise to long 

 remain in the Institution and retain his class rank. 

 Each recitation is a link in a chain. The loss of one 

 lesson destroys the unity of all lessons given upon the 

 same subject. All knowledge afterward obtained is 

 incomplete. By absence or tardiness, the pupil not 

 only injures himself,, but impedes the entire class 

 with which he is associated. The others must wait 

 while the subject is again «(isplained to him. No 

 pupil will be pernai tted to th«a do himself and others 

 injustice. 



It is our aim not to burdea students with arbitrary 

 rules and useless restraints. Students will be given 

 all liberty consistent with their own welfare. The 

 government is intended to be liberal but firm in 

 character. It will be advisory rather than compulso- 

 ry. We believe tiiat he who teaches one to govern 

 himself is a better teacher than he who governs a 

 score by compulsion. 



The institution will be entirely free from sectarian 

 bias. The pure morality and piety of the Scriptures, 

 excluding everything sectarian and denominational, 

 is the foundation of all moral and religious teachings. *
